is this normal? every time after watching the games - especially the olympics, i get a little depressed. i'm not having a depression, but just a little depressed. perhaps it's all explainable since the only escape i have for now is lost 'this only happens every 4 year' is the perfect excuse for me to get away from my notes and books for a little while.
right now all i'm supposed to do besides studying is to move my things, shift them all from their terrible states, all dangling on my shelves in my room to cardboard boxes. i've already had my Corrs and music collection packed, as well as my models collection sealed, but there are tons of other things that i can' t possibly classify into any particular category still sitting on my table, shelve, bed etc etc and that probably adds to my depression.
and somehow Torino reminds me of the grand tour of last summer. and i've been listening to Shakira non stop lately, which reminds me of the grand tour as well. i'm not sure why. maybe it's because in a record store in Mykonos beside the shore and city center i saw Fijicion Oral vol. 1 being sold for a hefty 25 Euros. that was really expensive for a CD, i thought. i didn't have the album, as much as i loved the leading track La Tortura i decided i should get a copy when i got back to Hong Kong. maybe that's why Shakira reminded me of Greece. I still remember vaguely how that record store looks like, and what meal we had before we hit the shore.
or maybe it's Shakira speaking in an european language that is Spanish that i don't quite understand that reminds me of a foreign land that i'm so fond of.
weird. I know.
but i really had an awesome time. wonderful, terrific time.
oh, the white and blue Greek flag i saw last night at the closing ceremony also played a part in reminding me of the white houses with blue tops scattered all over the beautiful island of Mykonos. and the anthem, so beautifully crafted, reminded me of the Santorini sunset.
it was really one of the greatest time ever. it wasn't perfect. but i wasn't looking for perfect. i was looking for a great time and the trip was beyond awesome.
even on that particular night that i got so upset and disappointed in someone, alone in the streets of Mykonos that i decided it's ok to spend 4 Euros on a chocolate/hazelnut filled crepe to make myself feel better - looking back that night was a wonderful night afterall, since the Greek moon was shining so bright (and the moon was really bigger there, no kidding), and Jack and Jill, the 2 geese that were so intelligent and so together, were happy at the beachfront in the beautiful town of Mykonos, escaping the festive and rather queer mood of the city.
yes, now i know why shakira reminded me of Greece.
i want to do that all over, and over, and over and over and over again. and again. and again. a million times.
there are definitely more memories to that. memories of the haunting streets of Athens. the boat ride to Crete that rocked and people yelled and got sea sick while i enjoyed the bumps. the coke that tasted especially good under the mighty Acropolis. the yellow hostel, that guy who slept beside me who smoked pot and obviously had pneumonia, or TB, I don't know. oh and Bonn! and the friendly Germans. the horrible Ryanair. Air Berlin was so great on the contrary.
i know i can go on forever but it's time for more 'La Tortura'. that's not shakira but my notes.
